Li Ruolian therefore looked at Hu Dan and asked, "So, you are the mastermind?"
Hu Dan looked at Zuo Jingzu and Wu Nandai in shock: "I, I..."
"Yes, he is the mastermind. I have repeatedly advised him not to do this. He said, don't be afraid. If something happens, he will be responsible!"
Zuo Jingzu replied.
Wu Nandai also replied: "Please arrest him quickly! He is really the instigator of all this, and he also threatened us and refused to allow us to report it! Otherwise, we will be silenced!"
"Yeah, that's right."
Zuo Jingzu nodded in agreement.
"You fart!"
Hu Dan cursed loudly and said: "This was obviously decided upon by the three of us and a bunch of business friends, so why did it become my idea alone!"
"Why is it not your idea alone? Do you still want to drag all the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou into trouble?"
Zuo Jingzu asked.
Wu Nandai also nodded and said: "Yes, it can't be that most wealthy businessmen in Suzhou have no conscience. This is clearly your problem alone. Don't think it is everyone's problem! If you are guilty, you must admit it!"
Hu Dan understood the meaning of these two people and admitted helplessly: "Yes, he is my mastermind!"
After saying that, Hu Dan whispered in a tearful voice: "You have to find a way to save me!"
Zuo Jingzu and Wu Nandai also whispered back: "They will."
"Is he careless? How did this tyrant know that his eyesight is so good that he can know what anyone said at any time and where?"
"What are you muttering about!"
At this time.
Li Ruolian asked.
The three of them hurriedly shut up, and were then brought to Zhu Youxiao.
"You guys are very good."
Upon seeing these three people, Zhu Youxiao said something first.
The three of them shouted together: "Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"I didn't expect that you would use this method to deal with me. Why do you think you have touched the vein that I want to live forever?"
Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.
The three of them didn't answer.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered: "Give them the injection first!"
Ding Guofei confessed everything shortly after being injected.
Not only did they confess Hu Dan, they also confessed the scholar who made the elixir of longevity.
Zhu Youxiao also copied all the immortality potions made by this scholar.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can now continue to inject these three people.
"ah!"
"don't want!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
Hu Dan and the other three people shouted.
They don't want to get injected.
Zhu Youxiao only said at this time: "This is called treating the other person with his own way. Let you have a taste of it first! I hope that when you go to Jiuquan in the future, Po Meng won't give you soup, etc." If you are reincarnated as humans, you will no longer need to murder others."
As a result, the three people's pants were pulled down and they were quickly injected with injections.
After the two people were given the injection, Zhu Youxiao continued: "You people will never know how to be an upright person."
With that said, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Detain him, he will be punished strictly according to the crime, and his property will be confiscated. In addition, the scholar will also be sentenced to death. It is useless to keep such a scholar with evil intentions! He is not a replaceable scholar. . In addition, I would like to issue another edict to tell the world clearly not to use crooked ways to achieve your goals. The sky net is very sparse and does not leak out. I am not that easy to fool!"
"yes!"
"Even someone like Grand Master Hua cannot harm the Emperor. You and I should just give up and let the national funds flow into our private treasury."
"Hey! You know, back then even the Emperor of Wumiao could fall into trouble after meeting Yang Yiqing, but now the emperor can quickly see through the conspiracy behind it after meeting Taishi Hua. This shows that the emperor of this dynasty is really not good Deal with it!"
"It seems that only God can take him away! It's better to find ways to benefit the people. It's not easy to get money from the court."
Because of this incident, many merchants among the people sighed.
They all had to completely give up their thoughts of controlling the emperor and even the government through various heresy.
In addition, because Zhu Youxiao issued an order strictly prohibiting drug production, these people no longer dare to make money from this.
"These guys who have no thoughts of fellow nationalities and no sense of responsibility for their family, country, and world. They only think about maximizing their own interests. They are really capable of anything. They actually came up with this trick, especially for some individuals. Scholars have also fallen into this way!"
Zhu Youxiao also lamented to Du Yinxi about this matter.
Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty is saying that in my humble opinion, this kind of people will never be exterminated. However, this is also the meaning of the existence of rulers. If everyone has a sense of responsibility and good intentions, then What do you want the court to do?"
"So, a world without absolute freedom and a court is not possible."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao said again: "However, as the Ming Dynasty's economy becomes more and more prosperous, especially the wealth obtained from the outside world has been transferred to the national treasury, and in the form of various public construction and investments, it has flowed to In the hands of the majority of the people at the bottom, the national economy has always been in a good state, but what I am worried about is because egoists have always existed, and these egoists see that they cannot control me and control the court to increase the national wealth. After some of it flows into their own pockets, they will probably use various means to plunder the money of the people at the bottom."
"A lot of this kind of thing has happened recently. As far as I know, there is something called the American Gold Mine Project, which is very popular among the people. I am afraid it is this kind of behavior."
Du Yinxi said.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I also heard what Dongchang said, and I have asked Dongchang to start investigating these illegal organizations that are suspected of defrauding people of their property."
"It just so happens that we are now wearing casual clothes and walking around Wuxi city to see if there are any of these scams here."
With that said, Zhu Youxiao got up and left the inn.
Du Yinxi followed after paying the bill.
On the bright side, Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi seemed to be the only two people around them.
The two went to a dental shop first.
After all, Yahang is responsible for introducing people to jobs and even renting and selling stores.
Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi have decided to call themselves overseas businessmen and come here to find a store to do business.
However, as soon as the two of them arrived outside a dental store, they were blocked by a young man who looked quite well-dressed: "Excuse me for being rude, you two must be merchants, right?"
Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi looked at each other and then nodded.
The young man hurriedly introduced himself: "My late name is Chu Qing, and I am a fifth-level investor in the Siberian Petroleum Project. I wonder if you two would like to know more about the Siberian Petroleum Project? This is the first nation's project designated by the emperor today! The benefits are huge." , great and glorious, and today's emperor intends to share this wealth with the whole people, and allows the whole people to invest and share dividends, and orders his minister Du Gong to preside over this project, and starts construction while raising funds and sharing dividends. Even the most ordinary ninth-grade underwriter can The annual dividends can reach one hundred thousand silver dollars!”
Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi were very surprised after hearing this, and looked at each other again.
We don’t even know about this project?
Also First Nations Project.
Exploring oil is not a national project.
But before Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi refused to understand, people appeared from nowhere and surrounded them.
"Boy, we all heard it just now. What project are you talking about, with an annual dividend of 100,000 silver dollars?"
"It's still a project designated by His Majesty. Is it really so profitable to invest in it?"
"However, I have heard that the imperial court is vigorously developing Siberia's ore resources. In addition, many newspapers and periodicals have said that oil is now the world's number one energy source."
"We can't miss this opportunity."
"Boy, how do you know if you can help us have the opportunity to participate in this project."
…
At this time, the people who gathered around started talking in a variety of ways.
Zhu Youxiao and Duyin heard that the mountains were surrounded by mist.
But after listening for a while, Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi roughly understood what these people meant. They were simply very interested in this so-called project and wanted to invest money in it.
"It's the Siberian Petroleum Project, it's the First Nations Project, it's great and brilliant!"
"This time the imperial court did not directly use national funds, but planned to achieve universal wealth through universal investment. As long as the people of the country can participate."
"If you really want to participate, come with me first and learn about this project first."
The man named Chu Qing turned around and walked towards where Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi had just come.
"Let's go and take a look."
And these people who had gathered around just now began to follow.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Send someone to follow them, and mobilize a guard battalion to immediately detain and interrogate these people. In addition, give an order to the Wuxi prefect to seal the city of Wuxi!"
Du Yinxi therefore gave Li Ruolian a look in the dark, and Li Ruolian came over.
Du Yinxi hurriedly gave him some instructions.
Then, Du Yinxi turned around and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I think it's better for us to follow him. After all, this person named Chu Qing is here to visit me and your majesty. If I and your majesty don't go, just I’m afraid it will make him suspicious, because there’s no telling that these people are shills.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Then let's go. It looks like we are not forcing us to do anything. Different from the group of human traffickers we met in Zhending last time, they probably really just want to use something." Big projects scare us, let us learn first, then let us invest money, and let us attract people, so there should be no harm to our lives or bodies."
Du Yinxi was quite surprised after hearing Zhu Youxiao's words. He didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be so clear about these matters, so he felt relieved and said: "What Your Majesty said is true, but I have given instructions to Governor Li to let him He brought more people with him in case something unexpected happens."
Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi followed next.
At this time, Chu Qing, who was already walking more than thirty steps ahead, turned around and saw Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi coming. He raised his eyebrows at a wealthy man beside him and said, "They are here. It seems that they are here." They were also impressed by our project.”
"Our projects are very attractive. It's normal for them to come. As long as they want to make money, as long as they have new thinking and insight, they will be willing."
The rich man replied.
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao, Du Yinxi and others followed Chu Qing and the wealthy man into a garden.
As soon as he entered the garden, Zhu Youxiao heard the sound of lectures coming from various pavilions and pavilions in the garden.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao took a cursory look and found that the people in this garden were men, women, old and young. He also found that the people in these gardens were all wearing the same clothes, and the clothes were all embroidered with the words "Great Investor of Siberian Petroleum Project" words, and all wore the same hair accessories.
"Now, please, those who are willing to become new members of the Siberian Petroleum Project, first stand with their relatives and friends."
At this time, a dignified-looking man came out and shouted loudly.
So, Zhu Youxiao stood with Yinxi.
But not long after, a sweet-looking woman came to Zhu Youxiao and said with a smile: "Old man, come with me."
Zhu Youxiao followed the woman.
Du Yinxi and the guards in the dark saw this and wanted to follow, but were stopped by several other men: "I'm sorry, relatives and friends can't study together!"
"Then what if something happens? You are responsible."
Du Yinxi asked at this time.
"I am responsible."
Chu Qing came over and smiled.
Fortunately, at this time, Du Yinxi saw that Li Ruolian and many Su Wei who pretended to be other relatives and friends were taken over, so he said nothing more.
Zhu Youxiao, Li Ruolian and others were taken to the same hall.
As soon as she arrived in the hall, the woman asked Zhu Youxiao, Li Ruolian and others to sit down.
Then, Zhu Youxiao saw the light turned on, and the woman who had brought him in just now laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, you are welcome to learn about our Siberian oil project. Let me first introduce a capable person. This Wei Rang's surname is Shang, his first name is Zhicheng, and his courtesy name is Yousheng. He comes from a well-known family. His grandfather was an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he also graduated from the Capital University. He was once the chief political officer of the Zizhengyuan, and later went into business. Now his assets are even more It’s as high as ten million yuan or more in silver coins!”
At this point, the woman asked even louder: "Do you think he is powerful?"
"sharp!"
"The name does sound great! I remember that there was indeed a Minister of Rites named Shang, named Shang Zhou Zuo, who should be his grandfather."
"This is really a capable person."
…
Many people sitting with Zhu Youxiao and others started talking about it.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Li Ruolian: "Shang Zhouzuo has a grandson named Shang Zhicheng? You are a Jin Yiwei, you should know it."
Li Ruolian replied: "Your Majesty, it really doesn't happen. I don't know how these people have the nerve to make it up, but so many people really believe it."
Zhu Youxiao said nothing after hearing this.
At this time, the woman shouted louder: "Now, let's invite Mr. Shang, whose talent and wealth are well-known in Jiangnan, to explain the Siberian Petroleum Project to us! Applause!"
For a moment, the applause was like thunder.
Then, Zhu Youxiao actually saw a man who looked elegant and elegant coming in with a very friendly smile: "Hello everyone! It is a great honor for Shang to explain to you this unprecedented and great event that benefits the country and the people today." The causes and consequences of the project! I believe that those gathered here today are all the most outstanding and outstanding talents in the future from all walks of life. They are all trendsetters who are willing to progress with this era, and are also willing to share this more glorious future together..."
